Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs-on-code-change scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Docs on Code Change

Whenever you write or change code that affects behavior, architecture, or APIs, you must update the relevant documentation in docs/.

Scope

  • New features, refactors, API changes, config changes, startup flow changes
  • Applies to: internal/, server/, domain/, scripts/, web/, bootstrap/

Actions

  1. Identify which docs/*_vi.md files are impacted
  2. Update them to match the new code (numbers, flows, endpoints, states, etc.)
  3. Keep docs accurate — no drift between code and documentation

Doc Files

Code area Docs to update
lamp-server, API, startup lamp-server_vi.md
LED, effects, states, animations led-control_vi.md
Setup flow, provisioning setup-flow_vi.md
Web UI, configuration pages web-ui_vi.md
Flow Monitor (pipeline SVG, flow logs) flow-monitor_vi.md (and docs/flow-monitor.md)
Overall structure overview_vi.md
MQTT, dispatch, publish mqtt_vi.md
bootstrap, OTA bootstrap-server_vi.md

Convention

  • Vietnamese docs: *_vi.md (e.g. lamp-server_vi.md)
  • English vision/design: keep as-is unless code explicitly changes behavior
  • 100% accurate: numbers, names, flows must match code

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
